I want to keep working to finish regardless of which release it becomes a part of.
I understand, but....
If we are cutting it out the we can just remove it from status bjam now....
But that would mean that progress would be stopped on getting this done.
Right. I do not ask to remove Boost.Serialization from the tests. That'd be the sadest thing we could do.
....I believe the release needs to take priority over serialization at this point. It's purely a timing issue. Because of the diskspace problem, the full Linux regression tests aren't available so other library authors are unable to clean up the mainline. So while I would love to see Robert clean things up and get serialization in the release it seems unlikely this is going to be feasible unless someone comes up with a way to allow the Linux regression tests to continue (maybe someone wants to fork up $150 bucks and Fedex Martin a new disk drive ;-)
I have a Linux machine with 16311080 of available disk where we can run the tests if someone will help me get the tests set up. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
